About Me
italki teacher since May 5, 2020Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessReadingFoodTravel
My name is Irma—I'm a social, energetic, and positive-minded person with diverse experience, from NGO work to logistics, and from translation to teaching Dutch to foreigners. With empathy and a healthy dose of humor, I strive to bring out the best in myself and others.
Over the past decade, my interest in languages has deepened as I became multilingual. I speak Dutch, Spanish, and English fluently, which has shown me how mastering a language can open doors globally. I’m passionate about helping others do the same, guiding them to conquer new languages with patience and encouragement.Me as a Teacher
As a language teacher, I love helping people tackle the challenges of learning a new language—and having fun is key! I’m all about creating a relaxed, positive vibe where making mistakes is totally okay and part of the process. I’ll guide you through Dutch or Spanish, breaking down tricky parts in a practical, easy-going way. Plus, I enjoy sharing the cultural side of each language, so you’re not just learning words but also connecting with new perspectives. Let’s make learning both effective and enjoyable!My lessons & teaching style
I don’t stick to any one method because I love shaping lessons around each student’s unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that keeps things practical and straightforward, making it easy for you to learn Dutch or Spanish in a way that truly resonates with you. I enjoy using the latest online tools to make our lessons interactive and fun, providing a variety of resources to keep you engaged. Whether it’s through games, videos, or real-life conversation practice, I’ll ensure you have everything you need to succeed while enjoying the learning journey!My teaching material

Estoy muy contenta desde que empecé a tomar clases con Irma, desde que estoy asistiendo a sus lecciones, mi conocimiento, confianza y manejo del idioma ha mejorado muchisimo, Irma es flexible, amable, tiene un amplio conocimiento y siempre aprendo cosas nuevas o como desenvolverme en situaciones coloquiales, por lo mismo sigo y seguiré con ella para mejorar mi neerlandés.

Het is heel fijn om Irma als lerares te hebben, ik voel me heel vrij om me te uiten en we praten altijd over veel dingen, het belangrijkste is de kwaliteit en ze geeft ALTIJD kwaliteitslessen. Ze gebruikt een document waarin ze alle fouten opschrijft en ze legt ze altijd uit, ze heeft echt plezier in het lesgeven en dat is duidelijk! :)

Irma is an excellent teacher who makes lessons fun, as well as educational and constructive. As a beginner who is new to the Dutch language, I find Irma's teaching style and choice of lesson material is well tailored to my own learning objectives and current abilities. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
